3 battles isn’t worth anything really. Since you seem very inexperienced in battling you were probably battling low ranking people similiar to you. Not to mention that to get more accurate results,you would need to battle again but with a luxray replacement (which for the most part will get you better results)

No matter if luxray is your favourite pokemon or not, it sucks and there is nothing you can do about it. It doesn’t even have anything over other similar Pokémon to justify it’s use. I also like luxray, chesnaught, lycanroc etc but I still wouldn’t use them in battle for being inferior. The only time I would ever use them is for a random for fun battle that’s worth nothing. Like a story team battle.

So it’s your loss if you continue to use it. It’s the same as bringing a stick to a sword fight. You have pretty much lost the moment it begins.

If you really did like luxray, you wouldn’t let it into fights that it’s going to lose anyway. That’s just abuse. Think about it that way if nothing can convince you to change your mind
